Calculating Areas of Rectangles and Squares

The video tutorial explains how to find the area of a shaded figure, which is a rectangle with a square cut out in the middle. The process involves calculating the area of the larger rectangle and then subtracting the area of the square. The rectangle has side lengths of 9 and 8, giving it an area of 72 square centimeters. The square, with side lengths of 4, has an area of 16 square centimeters. By subtracting the square's area from the rectangle's, the shaded area is determined to be 56 square centimeters.
